A Hostel would have been preferable

We ended up going to a different hotel. We had to wait 10 minutes in the restaurant before we could check in, one of the two lights in the room was broken off. The bed was dirty (had hair on it and it looked like hay). The bathroom was not clean and the water smelled like sulfur. I did not want to spend my last night in Iceland being uncomfortable and not wanting to shower. There was a bicycle and an old mattress in the stairway leading to our room.

The hotel is centrally located and very close to bus stop #8 which is next to one of the most visible landmarks. Its perfect for a short no frills stay. The owner is kind. When choosing a place to stay in Reykjavik either you splurge and be far away from downtown or you compromise and be centrally located. I only stayed 1night and it worked for me.

Excellent no-frills budget hotel, great location

Only had about 15 hours in Reykjavik so literally checked in (super easy and friendly) and slept there. Room is budget so no frills but the bed was super comfy, the shower had pressure and was hot, and there was even a little kitchen area with microwave, fridge, sink and plates, cutlery etc. I didn't eat at the restaurant but it smelled amazing. The owner let me keep my bag there after checkout. All in all, for the crazy prices in this city and for what I needed, it was perfect.it was right near the bus stop for the airport shuttle and perfectly located for checking out the church and city.

Loved the location. Was very happy I could get into my room earlier than normal check-in. They helped me make arrangements to get to the airport. However that bus never came so I was lucky a stranger helped me. No fault of the hotel.

Balikis

Liked: Cleanliness
Not as bad as other reviews suggest however, reception is a little strange. Staff have very little English which is fine but difficult to check in. No knowledge about nearby parking even though parking is mentioned during booking online. Elevator is broken, room was clean, spacious and well equipped. However one of the main downfalls was the lack of heating in the room. We had one small electric heater which failed to heat the large room. Location is brilliant and staff are smiley :) Main door locked at night, very safe and secure.

Hotel is in a great location, and easily accessible to the city and not too far from the main road. The bathroom needs some acrobat abilities due to its compact nature.

Would not recommend

We stayed here in August and left in the middle of the night because we couldn’t get over the fact that there were bugs in the bathroom which was right beside the bed. The toilet was not affixed firmly to the floor so it shifted when being used, and the bugs that were scurrying around the floor creeped us out. While the location of the hotel was good, we would not recommend staying here.
